“I want to bring it back and make it dark!” Hasselhoff said. “Michael Knight comes back and he’s pissed. … I hope it happens, and if it does, it’ll be kind of like Logan. It will be dark.”

In the original series, which aired from 1982 to 1986, Hasselhoff played a police detective who’s rescued by a billionaire philanthropist after being nearly fatally shot, and then given a new face and identity. Paired with KITT, a modified Trans Am equipped with artificial intelligence, Michael Knight was the primary field agent for a public justice organization, the Foundation For Law and Government. Hasselhoff reprised the role in two television movies, 1991’s Knight Rider 2000 and 2008’s Knight Rider.
